Diffusa
Europe / Italy / Sicily
Nestled on a cliff 200 meters above the sea, Taormina graces visitors with breathtaking views of one of the most stunning coastlines in eastern Sicily, including the majestic Mount Etna.
Overview
These vistas are often hailed as the “ultimate panorama” and are an absolute must-see when exploring Sicily.
This renowned tourist destination boasts the island’s second-largest ancient theater, originally constructed in the third century B.C., which still offers exceptional acoustics for contemporary performances, including major international cultural, musical, and theatrical events during the summer season.
In addition to its cultural treasures, Taormina offers an array of shopping opportunities, ranging from the finest Italian designers to local art and crafts. And, of course, you can savor the delightful local cuisine. To fully experience Taormina without the need for a car, consider renting Villa Diffusa, an exquisite 8-bedroom villa conveniently located within walking distance (with stairs) of all the town has to offer.
